[CQ-Contest] Fwd: Important Update for the 2020 Georgia QSO Party

I have some ideas for last-minute rules changes that might help a little in
salvaging the GA and FL QSO parties.

1. Shorten the events to one day, Saturday, maybe 1200Z to 0100Z or
something like that.

2. Announce 15 and 10 Meter "meeting times" for in-state stations to check
those bands. It would help everybody catch any sporadic E skip and in-state
stations might be able to work some ground wave. The old ARRL CD Parties
used this trick and it really did work.

3. In the case of the Florida QP, allow 80 Meter QSOs to count.
